Epic firework celebrations, drone shows, celebrity National Anthems.
Can we take a moment to reflect back on the Pete Boone and RK. Our athletic department is doing an absolutely incredible job and the university is backing them 150%. I was in that building during the Nutt era and watched them try to act like big boys and fail in the most miserable of fashion becuase of the GOB network still holding on for dear life. From Daytime fireworks and streamers that ended up blowing on to power lines and knocking out power to half of the campus(including the video board control room) to the outstanding performance put on by the entire department last night…..we’ve come a long way.

Agreed. Kudos to ADKC and Ole Miss.
I just hope the latest turnover doesn’t let the GOB’s back in.
I guess I’m glad the Mannings are back involved, but let’s not kid ourselves: Ole Miss just had its greatest streak of winning football without them. If they are going to be the foot in the door to the GOB’s, I’ll be glad to continue on with them sitting in the bleachers. Hopefully I am wrong, because personally I like them and their contributions to Ole Miss.

We were always the ones holding ourselves back.

They are an asset but cannot be our only asset.

Same. I had some weird conflicting emotions seeing those pictures of Archie talking to the team.

Yesterday was fricking awesome.

3 Sugar Bowls in 10 years is good stuff. I didn't make it down yesterday but on TV every single aspect of the gameday experience looked top notch. Because it was.

I am glad you said this, because as an outsider it really cracks me up thinking about the Manning’s hating Lane Kiffin like they do.
My uncle had dinner with skip Bertman back in the day and he talked all the time about how much Saban cucked and pushed around any LSU donor he wanted-especially on the flights from games. However, no one cared because he won big.
I understand Kiffin is polarizing at best but from the outside it feels short sited to hate the guy after the unprecedented success.

Nah frick that guy. Hope he fails spectacularly as I expect in Baton Rouge.

I didn’t mean it as “ole Miss fans should love lane kiffin”. I understand the animosity. I’m just talking about the Manning’s not even being around the program during a historical stretch because of the coach who got them there.

I just watched it. It was a nice talk. But kinda cringey.

The Mannings have hated Kiffin since he snuck out of TN in the middle of the night. Kiffin can geaux to hell with how he handled this entire thing.

Mannings are more love around all of football then LK.. Even if they are not totally around all the time.. Its good have them coming around some time. Along with former players that was not coming around.. Cause it not just the Manning..

Archie had a major influence in hiring David Cutcliffe and Hugh Freeze. Those were the best two football coaches we’ve had in the modern era outside of Kiffin. I think the Mannings hated Kiffin long before he started coaching at Ole Miss.

No Ole Miss coach ever did less with more than Cut.
As for the Mannings being back, that's really going to help out on the exposure side. Eli has become a bigger star post NFL than he was while he was playing.

I doubt Archie liked Coach O. They were really butt hurt that we fired Otis.

Wut?
He was a great QB coach given a HC job just to secure Eli.

In fairness to Cut, he didn’t have much to work with. The IPF wasn’t finished until he was almost out the door. The budget for analysts and similar support was almost non existent. Athletics had zero aircraft for use in recruiting (and back then there was no rule against wealthier programs jetting top recruits to campus). He was never going to lead us to a NC but it’s not like we gave him the keys to the castle either.

He couldn't recruit and refused to bring in coaches who could.
